Zusammenfassung:	Of 41 children, adolescents, and young adults who were withdrawn from chronic neuroleptic treatment, 18 developed tardive dyskinesia, withdrawal dyskinesia, nondyskinetic withdrawal symptoms, or transient behavior deterioration.

Only 12 of the 41 subjects required resumption of neuroleptic treatment after a prolonged trial withdrawal period.
